Cynda | 1668 comments Mod
I am hanging in there by doing audio books. Just seems far more relaxing. Currently I am listening to Perrault's unabridged fairy tales on Hoopla.

I continue to hone my Readathon practices. I will borrow Books on CD as well as use Hoopla's services next time. I can listen, think, and color at same time. Good time for novellas and fairytales--so fat that works. More complicated books I am not enough practiced at listening to.

Audio books are life savers during the final hours of the readathon. My only problem was that I would close my eyes for a little bit to rest and next thing I knew I was napping! Maybe I should try colouring books at the same time.


message 195: by Alix (new)

Alix (pixiealix) | 25 comments 40 minutes left in The Book Thief. I'm kinda scared - so many people I know that don't cry easily have said they were sobbing at the end.

message 200: by Kimber (new)

Kimber Buelow- 561 Bookgirl (561bookgirl) | 20 comments Last book is done- Wonder Woman Unbound by Tim Hanley. Good, but relied too heavily on previous work and other DC women rather than just Wonder Woman. He padded the book.
